Historic Automobile

Buying, selling, restoring and racing vintage, classic and sports cars.

Classic car disputes

Disputes arise from buying, selling, restoring and racing vintage, classic and sports cars.

After a lifetime immersed in the world of vintage cars, Oliver recognises the issues that can arise:

The title or provenance of a car.
The sale and purchase of a car – the failure by a buyer or seller to do what they promised.
Repairs and restoration work – issues over the quality of work or the price payable.
Misrepresentation – a car transpires not to be what a seller told a buyer.
Replica cars passing off as original.
Disputes over age-related or personalised registration plates.
Personal injuries and property damage as a result of accidents whether on the road or at sporting events.
“You bend it, you mend it” gentlemen’s racing agreements.
Disputes with agents acting for a buyer or a seller or both.
Age and registration eligibility disputes.
